FRSEMR 23m: Nutrition and Public Health
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Introduction to the critical reading of technical nutrition and medical literature; surveys current issues in public health and public policy relating to nutrition. Critical analysis of different types of medical literature: historical monographs, metabolic laboratory observations, clinical case reports, epidemiological surveys, prospective randomized controlled trials, metaanalyses, and literature reviews. Prepares science and non-science concentrators to examine critically current controversies for themselves; requires active participation and presentation by students.

FRSEMR 23n: Evolutionary Arms Races-From Genes to Societies
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Competition and conflict are common in biology - e.g. predator-prey or host-pathogen interactions - with important implications in evolution and human health. Conflicts of interest almost inevitably set in motion perpetually evolving counterstrategies, a pattern similar to the arms races in human society. This seminar will focus on these patterns in biology and compare and contrast them with those in society. We will consider outcomes, and explore the utility of using such analogies across systems.

FRSEMR 23o: Evolution of Aging
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
How do we age? WHY do we age? If natural selection can effectively build "better" organisms, should organisms be immortal? This seminar explores both the mechanisms that cause aging, and the hypotheses used to explain its evolution. We will focus on human data and the genetics of aging in human populations, but use examples from across the domains of life to illustrate that aging is a universal phenomenon.

FRSEMR 23s: The Seven Sins of Memory
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Examines fallibility of memory from both cognitive and neuropsychological perspectives. Seven basic "sins" of memory: transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. The first three reflect different types of forgetting. The next three involve distortion or inaccuracy. Persistence, the last, refers to pathological remembrances. Can "sins" be conceptualized as by-products of adaptive features of memory, rather than as flaws in the system or blunders made by Mother Nature during evolution?

FRSEMR 23w: Science and the Sea
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Examines how science has reshaped our view of the ocean over the past two hundred years. Formerly considered a featureless and threatening void, the deep sea is now understood as a dynamic place to be studied and even protected. How did scientists create knowledge of the ocean, and what was distinctive about doing science "at sea," whether from the deck of an explorer's ship or the inside of a diving bell?

FRSEMR 23x: Energy and the Environment: Paths to Sustainability
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
The interrelationships between energy and environment are defining issues of our time. In this class, we will examine how the environment has shaped human energy choices and how these choices have shaped the environment. We will study the broad sweep of human energy use from hunter-gatherer societies to the present day and use this history to analyze contemporary issues such as climate change, peak oil, and the future of renewable energy systems.

FRSEMR 24e: The Physics and Applied Physics Freshman Research Laboratory
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Exposes students considering careers in science or engineering to environment of a modern research laboratory. Research teams construct, perform, analyze, and report on cutting-edge experiments in physical, engineering, and biological sciences. Projects provide insight into the mathematical, mechanical, electronic, chemical, computational, and organizational tools and skills that characterize modern experimental science. Past projects focused on atomic, nuclear, and solid state physics, materials science, dynamical systems, and biophysical science. Projects highlight both team and individual effort.

FRSEMR 24i: Mathematical Problem Solving
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Explores mathematical problem solving (and problem posing) in contexts ranging from classroom exercises to competitions to research mathematics, develops strategies and techniques for solving such problems. Participants will solve selected problems in various areas of mathematics and at a range of difficulty levels, and will present, compare and reflect on their and other participants' solutions

FRSEMR 24n: Child Health in America
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Reviews history of children's health care in the United States; explores the impact of geography, environment, nutrition, clean water, as well as scientific discoveries of the late 19th and the early 20th centuries and the emergence of high technology care in middle and late 20th century. Does America provide children the best possible health care available? Compares United States epidemiology with that of other developed and developing nations. Explores how child health delivery is financed.

FRSEMR 25g: The Impact of Infectious Diseases on History and Society
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Mankind's journey- farming, urbanization, exploration, trade, globalization -has been marked by devastating encounters with infectious diseases. Infections have affected wars, political dynasties, global balance of power, social structure, public health policy, economics, and the arts. This course explores these themes by studying infections such as plague, syphilis, smallpox, malaria, sleeping sickness, tuberculosis, cholera, yellow fever, polio, and influenza. It investigates how the epidemiology of these diseases, and society's response, inform contemporary policy and future threats.
